    Hilary McKay

    Formats & Editions

    The second novel in the much-loved Exiles series and winner of the Smarties Prize.

    When Ruth Conroy decides to sponsor a child in Africa, she is unprepared for the difficulties involved in finding 10 a month. So she enlists the help of her sisters - Phoebe, Naomi and Rachel - who are only too eager to dream up hare-brained fund-raising schemes . . .

    Undisciplined baby-sitters, unhygienic caterers or fraudulent pavement artists, their hilarious projects never fail to cause chaos and mayhem.
